'''Gunpowder''' is a [[Science]] [[Item]] and explosive [[Weapon]]. It requires 1 [[Rotten Egg]], 1 [[Charcoal]], and 1 [[Nitre]] to craft and an [[Alchemy Engine]] to prototype. Rotten [[Egg]]s are produced by waiting for Eggs to rot, and can usually be found in [[Pengull]] nests sometime after [[Winter]] ends. [[Charcoal]] can be obtained by burning trees. [[Nitre]] is dropped from mining [[boulders]], or by digging up [[Moleworm]] burrows in the Reign of Giants DLC.

It deals 200 damage per charge and can be exploded in stacks, which is more than enough to instantly kill an unarmored character at full health (with the exception of Wolfgang, an upgraded WX-78, or Wigfrid). This damage is not affected by a Character's damage multipliers.
